Increasingly incoherent indeed.
I don't have to defend why transmogrification isn't realistic, that's why the onus is on you, so far your justifications have been: I want it, you're stupid, and other games do it.
For the record, I don't particularly like the hide helmet option, but people doffing their caps isn't reality distorting. Not that that really seems to concern you.
Maybe I'm naive but I would think that a character in the world's chief concern would be not dying at the altar of fashion.
It doesn't need to have anything to do with the setting. We're talking about the player controlling the character's appearance in a video game menu, not a character having a spell to change their underwear with an accompanying five hour quest line for Withers to explain the lore of thongs to you.
If you would just be more frank about what is motivating your desire for a transmog system, like Icelyn, I could at least respect your choice, but couching it in this argument around roleplaying and character verisimilitude wasn't a winning tact. So, you're uninterested in the setting, the game is just a cool way to cosplay, I can get behind that, just don't tell me it's true to the setting, lore, or gameplay.
I'm not sure what your point about a theoretical Mongolian or Tajikistani clothes horse is.
